On May 16 the House of Burgesses adopted resolutions reasserting its exclusive right to levy taxes in Virginia and condemning recent parliamentary proposals to transport colonists accused of treason to England for trial. George Washington introduced a non-importation plan devised by Richard Henry Lee and George Mason. Before the house could act Botetourt dissolved the assembly.
There were enough of her acquaintances, too, in groups here and there she had to bow and smile sufficiently often to prevent these anxieties from reasserting themselves too forcibly.
The sweet, fresh air, still a little keen, was buoyant with all the joyous exhilaration of spring, and nature, free at last from the saddened grip of winter, was reasserting itself in one glad triumphant chorus.
And now the fierce sun, reasserting his supremacy, shone once more in all his tropical fierceness right down on the steamy earth, and all was glare, and heat, and bustle. Next morning, I rode out at daylight along with Mr Bang, who had arrived on the previous evening.
He often disguises it most effectually; but in the long run he does no more. Like a protuberance in an air cushion, which if pushed down in one place reappears in another, the original advantage of the bank infallibly ends in reasserting itself. The system-monger fails to see this for one reason only that, having disguised, he thinks that he has eliminated, a fundamental fact of the situation.
But he had heard such unexpected things, that it was not easy for him to remember how complete had seemed the severance between him and Sidwell. The charm of her presence was reasserting itself, and when avowal of continued love appeared so unmistakably in her troubled countenance, her broken words, he could not control the answering fervour.

This was so wholly unexpected that for a moment she found herself unable to reply, but finally: "How dare you!" she cried, her native courage reasserting itself. "I have been drugged and brought to this place. You shall pay for it.
Thus Slone had spent waking hours by day and night, mad with love and remorse, tormented one hour by imagined grounds for hope and resigned to despair the next. Upon the sixth morning of his stay at Bostil's Slone rose with something of his former will reasserting itself. He could not remain in Bostil's home any longer unless he accepted Bostil's offer, and this was not to be thought of.
We who are lost in it, working or looking on, can neither tell what we are doing, nor where standing; but we cannot help observing, that, just as in the Greek Renaissance, worn-out Pagan orthodoxy was penetrated by new philosophy; just as in the Italian Renaissance, Pagan philosophy, reasserting itself, fertilised again an already too inbred Christian creed; so now Orthodoxy fertilised by Science is producing a fresh and fuller conception of life a, love of Perfection, not for hope of reward, not for fear of punishment, but for Perfection's sake.
Not that this is any thing in itself," I hastened to add, my natural pride reasserting itself; "but the future! the future! what am I to do with my future?" She did not answer at first. A gleam I can scarcely call it a glow passed over her face, and her eyes took a far-away look that made them very sweet.
